1, sweet-scented osmanthus red bean paste is one of the traditional desserts in Henan Province, with a long history, and its origin can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, in the Tang Dynasty, a poet named Li Bai tasted the local red bean paste when he was playing in Luoyang, Henan Province, and found it delicious. He wrote the poem "A girl in Luoyang sang, went to Luoyang to pick osmanthus flowers, Luoyang's daughter was like a flower, and osmanthus cooked red beans, so delicious", which laid the foundation for the spread of osmanthus red bean paste.
2. With the passage of time, sweet-scented osmanthus red bean paste has gradually spread all over Henan Province and become a delicious food in people's daily life. In the production process, red beans are cooked first, then glutinous rice flour and water are added to mix and stir, then osmanthus and brown sugar are added, and finally they are cooked until they are sticky. Osmanthus fragrans and red beans are sweet and nutritious, and can be eaten as dessert or as a snack for breakfast or afternoon tea.
